Summary:

This book, originally a dissertation, explores the phenomenon of young people in Japan moving from urban centers to rural areas, a movement known as I-turn. The author examines the socio-cultural and economic factors driving this trend, particularly in post-bubble Japan. Through a combination of discourse analysis and personal narratives, the book highlights how rural regions are romantically perceived as idyllic escape from urban life. It also addresses the challenges of aging populations and depopulation in these areas. The work is aimed at academics and readers interested in Japanese societal changes and rural revitalization efforts. Generated by AI.
